“In order to solve the climate crisis, we need to solve the democracy crisis.”

I don’t really consider this a political issue, I consider it to be a moral issue.

It is just human nature to take time to connect the dots, I know that. But I also know that there can be a day of reckoning when you wish you had connected the dots more quickly.

As long as the government’s actions are secret, it cannot be held accountable. A government for the people and by the people should be transparent to the people.

Our way of life is at stake, our grandchildren are at stake, the future of civilization is at stake.

Every nation has a moral obligation to safeguard the future.

Believe in the power of your own voice. The more noise you make, the more accountability you demand from your leaders, the more our world will change for the better.

Our insatiable drive to rummage deep beneath the surface of the earth is a willful expansion of our dysfunctional civilization into Nature.

We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.

I’m going to be focused on doing everything I possibly can to help solve the climate crisis.

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.

Hurricane Sandy is a disturbing sign of things to come. We must heed this warning and act quickly to solve the climate crisis. Dirty energy makes dirty weather.

Mother Nature does not do bailouts.

Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.

Take it from me, every vote counts.

I think the cost of energy will come down when we make this transition to renewable energy.

Take it from me: Elections matter.

Climate change does not respect border; it does not respect who you are – rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, this is what we call global challenges, which require global solidarity.

Climate change is destroying our path to sustainability. Ours is a world of looming challenges and increasingly limited resources. Sustainable development offers the best chance to adjust our course.

Humans are not responsible for climate change in the way some of people are trying to make us believe, for the following reason:

You can be moved profoundly by other vistas, by other oceans, by soaring mountain ranges, but you can never be seduced. You can even forsake the lowcountry, renounce it for other climates, but you can never completely escape the sensuous, semitropical pull of Charleston and her marshes.

Climate change is the perfect pseudoscientific theory for a big government politician who wants more power. Why? Because it is a theory that can never be disproven.

Manners are love in a cool climate.

I believe the climate is changing because there’s never been a moment where the climate is not changing.

Research shows that the climate of an organization influences an individual’s contribution far more than the individual himself.
